Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of detection device technology, and in particular relates to a drone disaster site detection device. Background Technology
[0002] The unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) disaster site reconnaissance device is a UAV system equipped with various detection devices such as high-definition cameras, thermal imagers, gas sensors, and lidar. It can quickly fly to the scene after disasters such as earthquakes, fires, and floods. With its flexibility, mobility, and high-altitude perspective, it can conduct comprehensive and real-time image acquisition, environmental monitoring, and terrain mapping of the disaster area. The data is quickly transmitted back to the command center to help rescue personnel understand the situation of casualties, building damage, and hazardous gas leaks at the disaster site, providing an important basis for scientifically formulating rescue plans.
[0003] Existing drone reconnaissance devices have been found to have fixed camera angles during use. If the reconnaissance perspective needs to be adjusted, the operator can only do so by controlling the overall flight attitude of the drone. This adjustment method is not only cumbersome to operate, but also restricts the drone's flight flexibility, making it difficult for the equipment to quickly respond to complex and ever-changing reconnaissance needs, which greatly reduces the practicality and work efficiency of the device. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a drone disaster site reconnaissance device. By setting up an adjustment mechanism, it solves the problem that the camera angle of the drone is fixed. If the reconnaissance angle needs to be adjusted, the operator can only adjust it by controlling the overall flight attitude of the drone. This adjustment method is not only cumbersome to operate, but also restricts the flight flexibility of the drone, making it difficult for the device to respond quickly to complex and ever-changing reconnaissance needs, which greatly reduces the practicality and work efficiency of the device.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0006] This utility model is a drone disaster site reconnaissance device, including a drone, which is equipped with an adjustment mechanism and a configuration mechanism;
[0007] The adjustment mechanism includes a fixed plate 1 fixedly connected to the bottom of the drone. A support plate 1 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixed plate 1. A motor 1 is fixedly connected to the right side of the support plate 1. The output shaft of the motor 1 is fixedly connected to a rotating shaft 1 via a coupling. The rotating shaft 1 passes through the support plate 1 and is rotatably connected to the support plate 1. An adjustment frame is sleeved on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 1. A rotating seat is rotatably connected to the adjustment frame. A support plate 2 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixed plate 1. A motor 2 is fixedly connected to the back of the support plate 2. The output shaft of the motor 2 is fixedly connected to a rotating shaft 2 via a coupling. The rotating shaft 2 passes through the support plate 2 and is rotatably connected to the support plate 2. An adjustment rod 1 is sleeved on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 2. An adjustment rod 2 is rotatably connected to the end of the adjustment rod 1 away from the support plate 2. The end of the adjustment rod 2 away from the adjustment rod 1 is rotatably connected to the rotating seat.
[0008] Furthermore, the configuration mechanism includes a fixed plate two fixedly connected to the bottom of the rotating base. The fixed plate two has several sliding grooves. The inner walls of the several sliding grooves are slidably connected to sliding rods. The ends of the several sliding rods that are far apart from each other are fixedly connected to arc-shaped clamps. The inner walls of the several arc-shaped clamps are provided with cameras.
[0009] Furthermore, a large gear is rotatably connected to the bottom of the second fixed plate. The large gear has several arc-shaped grooves. The bottom of each of the sliding rods is fixedly connected to a lever. The bottom ends of each lever extend out of the arc-shaped grooves and are slidably connected to the arc-shaped grooves.
[0010] Furthermore, a motor sleeve is fixedly connected to the top plate of the second fixed plate, and a motor third is fitted on the inner wall of the motor sleeve. The output shaft of the motor third is fixedly connected to a rotating shaft third through a coupling. The rotating shaft third passes through the second fixed plate and is rotatably connected to the second fixed plate. A small gear is fitted on the outer wall of the rotating shaft third, and the small gear meshes with a large gear.
[0011] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0012] 1. By setting up an adjustment mechanism, when using the drone, if it is necessary to adjust the vertical shooting angle of the camera, motor one can be started. Motor one drives the adjustment frame through shaft one. The adjustment frame drives the camera through the rotating base to achieve vertical angle adjustment. If it is necessary to adjust the horizontal shooting angle, motor two is started. Motor two drives adjustment rod one through shaft two. Adjustment rod one and adjustment rod two cooperate to drive the rotating base connected to adjustment rod two, thereby driving the camera on the rotating base to complete the horizontal shooting angle adjustment. This design can meet diverse shooting needs, thereby improving the flexibility and practicality of the device.
[0013] 2. By setting up a configuration mechanism, when the camera needs to be disassembled separately, motor three is started. Motor three drives the small gear to rotate through shaft three. Since the small gear meshes with the large gear, when motor three is running, the small gear will drive the large gear to rotate synchronously. During the rotation of the large gear, the multiple arc-shaped grooves on it cooperate with the actuating rods sliding on multiple sliding rods in the fixed plate two, causing the multiple sliding rods to drive the arc-shaped clamps to unfold outward, releasing the restriction on the camera, thereby achieving convenient disassembly. This design avoids the cumbersome process of fixing the camera with bolts and effectively improves work efficiency.

Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0024] Please see Figure 1-5 As shown, this utility model is a drone disaster site reconnaissance device, including a drone 1, on which an adjustment mechanism 2 and a configuration mechanism 3 are provided;
[0025] Adjustment mechanism 2 includes a fixed plate 21 fixedly connected to the bottom of UAV 1. A support plate 22 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixed plate 21. A motor 23 is fixedly connected to the right side of the support plate 22. The output shaft of the motor 23 is fixedly connected to a rotating shaft 24 via a coupling. The rotating shaft 24 passes through the support plate 22 and is rotatably connected to the support plate 22. An adjustment frame 25 is sleeved on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 24. A rotating seat 26 is rotatably connected to the adjustment frame 25. The bottom of the fixed plate 21 is fixedly connected to the support plate 21. A support plate 27 is fixedly connected to the back of the support plate 27. A motor 28 is fixedly connected to the back of the support plate 27. The output shaft of the motor 28 is fixedly connected to a rotating shaft 29 via a coupling. The rotating shaft 29 passes through the support plate 27 and is rotatably connected to the support plate 27. An adjusting rod 210 is sleeved on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 29. An adjusting rod 211 is rotatably connected to the end of the adjusting rod 210 away from the support plate 27. The end of the adjusting rod 211 away from the adjusting rod 210 is rotatably connected to the rotating seat 26.
[0026] By setting the adjustment mechanism 2, when using the drone, if it is necessary to adjust the vertical shooting angle of the camera 35, motor 1 23 can be activated. Motor 1 23 drives the adjustment frame 25 through the rotating shaft 1 24. The adjustment frame 25 drives the camera 35 through the rotating base 26 to achieve vertical angle adjustment. If it is necessary to adjust the horizontal shooting angle, motor 28 is activated. Motor 28 drives the adjustment rod 1 210 through the rotating shaft 29. The adjustment rod 1 210 cooperates with the adjustment rod 211 to drive the rotating base 26 connected to the adjustment rod 211, thereby driving the camera 35 on the rotating base 26 to complete the horizontal shooting angle adjustment. This design can meet diverse shooting needs, thereby improving the flexibility and practicality of the device.
[0027] The configuration mechanism 3 includes a fixed plate 31 fixedly connected to the bottom of the rotary base 26. The fixed plate 31 has several sliding grooves 32, and sliding rods 33 are slidably connected to the inner walls of each sliding groove 32. Arc-shaped clamps 34 are fixedly connected to the ends of each sliding rod 33 that are far apart from each other. Cameras 35 are installed on the inner walls of the arc-shaped clamps 34. A large gear 36 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the fixed plate 31. The large gear 36 has several arc-shaped grooves 37, and a lever 38 is fixedly connected to the bottom of each sliding rod 33. The bottom ends of several toggle levers 38 extend to several arc-shaped grooves 37 and are slidably connected to several arc-shaped grooves 37. The top plate of the fixed plate 2 31 is fixedly connected to a motor sleeve 39. The inner wall of the motor sleeve 39 is fitted with a motor 310. The output shaft of the motor 310 is fixedly connected to a rotating shaft 311 through a coupling. The rotating shaft 311 passes through the fixed plate 2 31 and is rotatably connected to the fixed plate 2 31. The outer wall of the rotating shaft 311 is fitted with a small gear 312, which meshes with a large gear 36.
[0028] By setting up the configuration mechanism 3, when the camera 35 needs to be disassembled separately, the motor 310 is started. The motor 310 drives the pinion 312 to rotate through the shaft 311. Since the pinion 312 meshes with the large gear 36, when the motor 310 is running, the pinion 312 will drive the large gear 36 to rotate synchronously. During the rotation of the large gear 36, the multiple arc-shaped grooves 37 on it cooperate with the actuating rods 38 sliding on the multiple sliding rods 33 in the fixed plate 2 31, causing the multiple sliding rods 33 to drive the arc-shaped clamp 34 to unfold outward, releasing the restriction on the camera 35, thereby achieving convenient disassembly. This design avoids the cumbersome process of fixing the camera 35 with bolts and effectively improves work efficiency.
[0029] One specific application of this embodiment is as follows: The cameras used for drone disaster reconnaissance are a type of professional camera equipment designed to meet the needs of drones for efficient reconnaissance at disaster sites. They typically include visible light cameras, infrared thermal imaging cameras, and hyperspectral imaging cameras. Visible light cameras, such as the DJI Zenmuse X4S, are equipped with a 1-inch, 20-megapixel sensor, 11.6 stops of dynamic range, and an equivalent focal length of 24mm, providing high-resolution real-time images to help rescuers understand the surrounding building layout, road conditions, etc., at the disaster site. Infrared thermal imaging cameras, such as the DJI Zenmuse XT, can image based on the difference in thermal radiation of objects, are unaffected by light or inclement weather, and can quickly search large areas at night or in dense smoke environments, accurately capturing the location of fire sources and the body temperature signals of disaster victims.
[0030] When using the drone, if it is necessary to adjust the vertical shooting angle of the camera 35, motor 23 can be started. Motor 23 drives the adjustment frame 25 through the rotating shaft 24. The adjustment frame 25 drives the camera 35 through the rotating base 26 to achieve vertical angle adjustment. If it is necessary to adjust the horizontal shooting angle, motor 28 can be started. Motor 28 drives the adjustment rod 210 through the rotating shaft 29. The adjustment rod 210 cooperates with the adjustment rod 211 to drive the rotating base 26 connected to the adjustment rod 211, thereby driving the camera 35 on the rotating base 26 to complete the horizontal shooting angle adjustment. This design can meet diverse shooting needs, thereby improving the flexibility and practicality of the device. When it is necessary to disassemble the camera 35 separately, the motor 310 is started. The motor 310 drives the pinion 312 to rotate through the shaft 311. Since the pinion 312 meshes with the large gear 36, when the motor 310 is running, the pinion 312 will drive the large gear 36 to rotate synchronously. During the rotation of the large gear 36, the multiple arc-shaped grooves 37 on it cooperate with the actuating rods 38 sliding on the multiple sliding rods 33 in the fixed plate 2 31, causing the multiple sliding rods 33 to drive the arc-shaped clamp 34 to unfold outward, releasing the restriction on the camera 35, thereby realizing convenient disassembly. This design avoids the cumbersome process of fixing the camera 35 with bolts and effectively improves work efficiency.
